The beach view was great! Pool area was nice and clean. We just stayed one night so we didn’t utilize any of the amenities. I picked this just because of the price. It definitely needs updated. Painted. New mattress. If you are picky on little details this place is not for you. If you are not there for the room and like a friendly budget I would recommend. Staff was very friendly. Great location

Good location with a great view. The room is nothing fancy but worth the price. You get what you pay for. Booked for one night until our house was available. Decent water pressure. Minor cosmetic issues but if your looking for a cheap place to stay for a short period of time would definitely recommend. Beds need an upgrade. But wasn’t horrible. Again, you get what u pay for so I didn’t go in with high expectations.

The photos online are very misleading. You’re not staying in the building shown—they advertise it like a resort, but the actual place is called Palmetto Inn & Suites, and it’s across the street from the beach, not beachfront. It looks and feels more like a motel than a hotel. The exterior and layout were totally different from what I expected based on the listing. Definitely do your research and double-check before booking.
